Germany’s Sebastian Vettel became Formula One’s youngest back-to-back world champion when he finished third in the Japanese Grand Prix behind Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso.
The 24-year-old Red Bull driver, who needed just one point to clinch the title, joins Juan Manuel Fangio, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher as one of only nine drivers to successfully defend the world title.
He ran down the pit lane to celebrate with his mechanics after the race, which sealed the championship with four grands prix remaining following a dominant season with nine wins in 15 outings.
At just 24 years and 98 days, Vettel outstrips fellow consecutive winners Alberto Ascari, Fangio, Jack Brabham, Alain Prost, Senna, Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen and Fernando Alonso as the youngest driver to achieve the feat.Button’s victory, which came after he passed Vettel in the second round of pit stops on lap 21, was his third of the season. The McLaren driver finished 1.1 seconds ahead of Spain’s Alonso of Ferrari, with Vettel’s third place enough to secure the world title.Australian Mark Webber was fourth for Red Bull while Briton Lewis Hamilton of McLaren had another controversial race, crashing again with Felipe Massa of Ferrari en route to finishing fifth.Schumacher was sixth for Mercedes, briefly leading the race after the final round of pit stops, while Massa was seventh. Mexican Sergio Perez took eighth for Sauber while German Nico Rosberg drove his Mercedes to finish 10th.Vettel did not lead last year’s world championship until after the final race in Abu Dhabi, but this season he has never been headed in the standings.However, Button said the victory showed Vettel’s competitors were closing the gap on dominant Red Bull. - http://tribune.com.pk
